World Results TOO MUCH FOR Connie Mack’s Clan Wallowing in Mire at the Bottom of Americans; Browns Come to Life in Taking Another Game. (By The Associated Press) \ The Philadelphia Athletics are hoisting signals of dis- tress in the American Leagues For the ninth consecutive time the Mackmen have beng beaten to the wire until today they stand firmly embedd at the bottom of the Johnson heap. Pre-curtain favorites to u tions af Miller Huggins, the Athle- tics, with expensive talent aboard, seemed destined to repeat their 1923 failure to land in the select circle of first division clubs. Brute batting strength by the Yankees yesterday sounded taps on the Mack men, 7 to 4, for the third straight game of the series . and ninth straight defeat of the season. The Boston Red Sox, one of the pre-season mystery teams, had their winning streak brought tb an abrupt termination by the Washington team, 5 to 4, but it took the Senators eleven innings to bring this result about. j rge Sisler's St. Louis Browns, slow In starting, appear to be work- ing smoothly in high gear now and yesterday they drove beyond the sec- ond division limits with a 10 to 8 victory and pulled up into a tie with the White Sox for fourth position, the Chicago team being halted by rain.

League, gain- ing a half game on the Reds by de- feating the Phillies in ten innings, 4 to 2, while the Reds were forced into idleness by wet grounds at St. Lous. The Cubs gained a notch on the Dodgers in the fight for third place when they turned back the Pirates, 5 to 1, while the Dodgers were losin, to the Braves, 4 to 1. . Tris Speaker used 20 players, in- cluding a quintet of pitching shifts and quartet of pinch hitters against four St. Loufs Boxmen but the Browns, by bunching hits in two in- ningt reasted the tape first.

Thompson's record is not quite so spectacular as that, but it is along the same order. In his first four games he accepted 6,13,10 and 7 re spectively—a total of 35, which fe better by three than Grantham did in his first four starts. Thompson, by the way, made his 25 without an error. Since then P heshas been going at a good clip and as he seems to be a fair hitter, Oma- ha may be minus a second baseman when next baseball season starts. Some big thing yet may grab him.

FARRELL (UniteG Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 8.—(United Pisss)—Bill Tilden’s resignation from the Davis Cup tennis squad and its acceptance by the United States Lawn ‘Tennis Association places the American team in ser- ous danger of losing one of the world’s most coveted sport trophies. While Tilden’s friends maintain that without him the American cup jefending tearm cannot win against the formjdable opponition that ts sure to be represented in the sur- vivor of the preliminary rounds, the supporters of the association might ‘ake the position that his with- drawal only means the removal of 1 handicap that challenging nations have been feeling they could not carry. Just before the challenge round next fall, when the identity an? ‘orm of the challenging team has seen established, {t will be more fogical to discuss America's hances of retaining the cup, than it would be to draw conclusions at hig earty date, But, certainly, {t is safe to say now that the American team, with- out a sure two-point winner, will not be as strong as it would have ‘een with Tilden. The big Amer- can champion is, by general admis- ion, the greatest player in the world, and the American team sould safely cha’k up a victery in two singles matches before Ti'den took the courts, regardiess of the competitor he was drawn against. BU Johnston, Dick Williams, Vinnie ‘Richards and Watson Wash- burn will have to carry the burden of defense. and their shoulCers are none too broad fer the toad. John ston is not physically qualified to stand up under the strain of two hard singles matches, and William is such an in-and-outer that he is not a sure bet in even one match. summer campaign with young Sandy Weiner, his Philadelphia protege, as his doubles partner. ‘The association, he said, wanted him to pair up with another player to form an experienced doubles pair for the Davis Cup matches, but that Tilden felt that Williams and Wash- burn had so much drag with the association that it wouldn't make much difference ff he did train with another partner. It was the feeling of resentment inst Tilden in the little group of tors ihat caused one of the members of the Davis Cup commit tee to bawl out Tilden in the club house during the intermission in-the doubles match of the challenge round. Tilden was approached with sug- gestions that he had learned his lesson last year and that he should be a nice boy after his spanking and select a doubles partner from the players appointed on the Davis Cup squad, ‘Tilden, he said, knew th the squad had been named in viola- tionof all precedent, just to put him in a hole and he insisted that he had a right to pick his own partner for the summer tournament cam paign and he told the bosses that he was going to play with Weiner again. In view of many other things learned in confidence {t seems quite poss.ble that the association reasons other than Tilden's w: activities for declaring him an “ey influence’ and that those reasons were not in keeping with the spirit of real sportsmanship. | SPORT BRIEFS DES MOINES Lincoln Lightweight, paper decision over Js Hudkins a news kk Zalice of Vinnie Richards isn't sure of getting a call to start in more than one match, Perhaps he may take it into his head to withdraw from the team and join Ti'den in carrying the fight against the association on the player-writer issue. ‘The, atmosphere}? around New York ‘Is very much charged with the influence qf the arsociation, and perhaps it was only natural that an observer should gain the impression hero that .the associa- tion had won a popular Cecision in deciding to stick to its ground and insist that Tilden would be a professional next year if he does not stop writing as a profession. During the recent .Pennrylvania relay carnival in Philadelphia, how- ever, it was learned in discussion with prominent sportsmen from the south, middlewest and far west that a very pronounced feeling of protest against the official attack on Tilden has developed since the association took off its glove and reached for the club. One prominent sportsman, «4 wealthy football, polo, tennis and athletic follower, expressed the opinion that Tilden will have mus- tered enough public support by the end of this year to force the asso- ciation to back down and make an exception of the anti-writing rule in his case. He said he had found during ex tensive winter travels over the country that tho general run of tennis fans and sportsmen did not believe that the writing of articles for the public press was o serious offense and that the association was getting a little too “grand motherly’ in waging war for the correction of fancied wrongs. One member 6f the executive com- mittee of the association, he said, had remarked that the committee, in view of recent developments, did not feel so sure of its ground and that he wasn’t quite certain that it would be able to keep peace in its own family if it ruled Tilden out of the game. The association, he said, had pointed to the elght-to-one vote given in support of the writer player rule at the annual meeting of the association, but it realized now that the vote might have been put over in a packed house and the vote was not representative of American tennis. It was generally believed, he said in clubs closely connected with the association that Tilden drew the royal wrath on him last summer, when he insisted upon making the retary-treasurer, ston, in eight rounds.

A shot putt of more than 54 feet, i pole vault of 14 feet, a hammer hrow of 200 feet, and a mile run n 4 minutes 10 seconds, are »nough to alarm anybody. And if the Finns and Swedes can reach hese figures in the internationa sooperation they should certainly nake a lot of trouble.
